About the episode
Matt is joined by Gerry Cardinale, founder and managing partner at RedBird Capital, the private equity fund backing Paramount’s takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, to answer some questions about what WarnerMount will look like, including whether they plan to sell off one or both of the Paramount and Warner Bros. lots, why cost cuts won’t lead to layoffs, details around possible Middle East investment, and why this megadeal is good for Hollywood (00:00). Matt finishes the show with an opening weekend box office prediction for Hoppers and The Bride! (34:02).
